Residential Property - Single Family Residence in Myakka City
Description of Property
Step into ‘Old Florida’ with this stunning, fully restored farmhouse on 8 acres in rural Myakka City. Originally built in 1941 by Clint and Eva Hutches, both former Manatee County Sheriffs, this authentic log home is steeped in history and charm. Restored by French designer, Gaëlle Wizenberg, this home has been beautifully reimagined while preserving its original, historic character. If you've ever dreamed of living ‘off the grid’, becoming fully sustainable, and growing your own food, while still being within close proximity to modern conveniences such as shopping & dining found at Lakewood Ranch or the stunning beaches of Lido & Siesta Key, your dream is now a reality. The restoration of this home included extensive updates such as a new metal roof, AC units, plumbing, tankless water heater, well equipment, and a top-of-the-line solar system with batteries, which powers the entire property. As you approach the property, you'll be greeted by the awe-inspiring beauty of the home and its surroundings. The soaring vaulted ceilings and exposed beams reflect the beautiful, rustic heritage of Florida’s cattle ranching era. The rich, warm tones of cedar and tidewater pecky cypress wood create an inviting, natural atmosphere. The centerpiece of the home is an impressive brick fireplace, while the floors feature original pine and ash wood. For the culinary enthusiast, the farmhouse boasts two kitchens: a spacious prep kitchen with ample pantry storage, and a chef's kitchen designed to impress. Features include a state-of-the-art porcelain island, black cabinetry accented with gold hardware, thick butcher block countertops, and high-end appliances such as a Bertazzoni 6-burner gas stove, Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher, and a large double-door fridge/freezer. The kitchen offers a direct view of the thriving vegetable garden and fruit tree grove. The home features a new, fully screened front porch, perfect for relaxing while enjoying the shade of a majestic Grand Oak in the front yard. The property is a true retreat, having served as a yoga and wellness center, as well as an educational hub for students interested in organic and regenerative farming practices. The property has a thriving “food forest” with a wide variety of vegetables, herbs, and fruit trees, including cabbage, arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, kale, citrus, papaya, mango, avocados, and much more. A true homesteader’s dream, this property also has multiple chicken coops and even a rabbit hutch. The property also includes a charming cabin, also built in 1941, that has a full bathroom and kitchenette; ideal for use as a guest suite or office. There are 2 large pole barns that provide ample storage and could easily be converted into horse stables. In addition, a 2023 1 bedroom, 1 bath mobile home, perfect for an in-law suite or rental unit, will convey with the property. Located on a quiet, dead-end road, the property offers privacy and tranquility. It backs up to the 4,500-acre Blackbeard Ranch and is just minutes from Terra Nova Equestrian Center, making it ideal for horse lovers and equestrian pursuits. Additional amenities are on the horizon, including the new Miakka Golf Club just 2 miles away, and the vibrant communities of Waterside and Lakewood Ranch are just a 30-minute drive.
